Hello,
Total Pascal newbie here. Looked for answers in various references and
tutorials, but cannot find.
Fore-question: Is there a (free)pascal teaching/learning mailing list? (Like python's
"tutor" list.) If not, is this one a proper place?
* How does one declare the type of set items?
numbers : Set of Integer // error
A set can only have 256 elements, in you case that would have been 4G
elements.
So the max is
TByteSet = set of Byte;
but usually a set (or enum) is given a reable name like
TMyEnum = (one, two, three);
TMySet = set of TMyEnum;
* How does one define the _value_ of a Set or Array?
numbers := (1,2,3) // error
numbers := [1,2,3] // error
const
Numbers: array[0..3] of integer = (1, 2, 3, 4);
MySet: TMySet = [one, three];
Somehow I get the idea that you mix the definition/use of sets with arrays.
